You know, for a series as intricate and continuity-dependent as HBO's 'Game of Thrones,' the acclaimed adaptation of writer George R.R. Martin's work doesn't mind making a few major recasts along the way. Most notably, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is set to take up the role of Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane in season 4, inherited from Ian Whyte and in turn Conan Stevens. While we wait, check out a first look at Björnsson in character!

True Blood' season 6 naturally thinned the herd a bit, moving into a seventh and final run that reset the focus on smaller Bon Temps vampire stories, though it seems the cast has suffered an unexpected loss. Late season 6 arrival Luke Grimes had his suave vampire character James upgraded to series regular for the final year, but will now be recast.

We've finally crossed the hump into 2014, wherein our beloved TV will return to us to sustain the long, dark and increasingly cold nights. And while 'Community' will lead the charge with tonight's premiere (watch it, ya turkeys!), HBO's 'True Detective' has us the most primed for its premiere with a series of recent trailers that cerebrally explore its leading men in Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.

The recent press rounds of NBC's forthcoming 'The Sound of Music' have seen Stephen Moyer peppered with all manner of 'True Blood' season 7 questions, though shooting of the premiere won't begin until January. That said, the first casting sheets for 'True Blood''s final season have emerged, giving us a clue where the H-vamp war will take us next summer!

HBO's 'Boardwalk Empire' fared surprisingly well with critics in its fourth season, even as the period gangster drama has consistently failed to achieve the same buzz as some of its predecessors, but could the fifth season in 2014 prove its last?

Though we could find 'Game of Thrones' star Jack Gleeson's diverse body of work beginning as early as 2005's 'Batman Begins,' most would forever associate him with the sniveling and impetuous King Joffrey of HBO's fantasy-drama. It remains to be seen how much longer the character will escape the axe, given series creator George R.R. Martin's tendency to kill more beloved characters, but will Gleeson retire from acting altogether after 'Game of Thrones'?

HBO previously took us to the 1920s East Coast for all the booze and bullets of 'Boardwalk Empire,' but will its next great drama switch sides? 'The Hunger Games' and 'Captain Phillips' screenwriter Billy Ray has been tasked to develop an HBO series around 'Great Gatsby' writer F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished work 'The Last Tycoon,' but how far along is the project?

HBO's 'Game of Thrones' hit a high note in season 3's Red Wedding episode "The Rains of Castamere," but will season 4 fare any better when it hosts yet another set of nuptials? King Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell are next in line to walk down the aisle in 'Game of Thrones,' and we've got an inside look at the "Purple Wedding" to come in 2014!

Though 'Game of Thrones' season 4 still feels like a lifetime away, we know that the ninth episode of any given season has historically proven the most jaw-dropping of them all. We have an idea of what the ninth episode of season 4 will involve, but check out an early sneak peek with a behind-the-scenes photo of "Castle Black!"

A few months ago, we saw the folks at Bad Lip Reading branching out from the usual movie and music video fare to their first TV parody with 'The Walking Dead,' and now it seems we've reached the next rung on the ladder. 'Game of Thrones' gets the most inventive and extended parody yet as an adventurous indie medieval theme park comedy, and oh yes, there will be Tyrion pimp-smacking.

'Game of Thrones' season 4 looks to be continuing the trends of previous season in adapting more and more of creator George R.R. Martin's work out of place. Despite covering a period roughly midway through Martin's third book 'A Storm of Swords,' the HBO fantasy drama has added UK actor Joel Fry in a key role from Martin's fifth book as Hizdahr zo Loraq.
